Terri, that means a lot coming from you. I really admire your work. Thanks so much. I was relieved to not have to re-work that face. I might have given up. I think I really lucked out not having to adjust the colors. Putting orange in the background did the trick...this time. I bet I won't get to skate next time. Thanks again for the big compliment.

Vianna, thanks! I assure you I am insanely impatient. If I can't finish something in a day I get so annoyed. If I could paint with both hands I would do it. I have been accused many times of being too tight of a painter. I try to loosen up my work but I always end up back at the detailed and tight end again. I think I am destined to be that way so I might as well try to make it work for me. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees because I am so tightly focused on details. I think that happened with this one with the first background. I'm glad I made the effort to change the background and I am very happy you think it is better. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
